This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

Call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE this nightmarish bill NOW!

NOT tomorrow! NOT next week!

RIGHT. NOW!

There’s still a chance to beat this to the ground, so get going!

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal!

we have 7 more days!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 3d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

if you are German, you really need to yell and scream at your MEPs about chat control! Germany has been flip flopping on chat control constantly. Their vote carries an enormous amount of weight on this issue!

we can win this, but we need to make our voices heard! contact your representatives!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 8d

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
 Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.
 If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

Screenshot of the Fight Chat Control website (https://fightchatcontrol.eu/) in German showing the Bundestag members. It is now possible to contact Bundestag members directly to express your concerns about Chat Control.

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship.

we CAN do this.

there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

EXACTLY THIS! When you make a phone call about an issue, they write it down, they look at the numbers. If conservatives can pressure politicians to make changes: SO CAN WE! Be brave, do your calls. It gets so much easier after the first few and you will feel more confident too!
